Where to watch Sea Eagles vs. Roosters: Free live stream, free-to-air channel, start time for NRL match image

The 2025 NRL season's Round 22 clash on Saturday night will see the Manly Sea Eagles take on the Sydney Roosters at 4 Pines Park.

Two teams in the race for the fading finals spot meet. The Sea Eagles and the Roosters have shown promising signs of what they are capable of, but have struggled for consistency -- that has cost them as the sides sit ninth and tenth on the ladder. 

The Sea Eagles return to 4 Pines Park where they have won six of their last nine matches. On the other hand, the Roosters have a good head-to-head record, winning five of their past seven meetings.

While Manly have won three of their last four games, the Roosters have lost three of their last four. So when the two sides take the field this weekend, the match could go either way, while also deciding the fate of their seasons.

The Sporting News is on hand to bring you all the latest TV, scheduling, and live streaming information ahead of this match.
